Simply that.

Are you watching to hear from the most reliable source.

Can you tell me what he actually said that made you feel more positive?

I was feeling resigned to it all until I heard the UN Director General.

Now I’m scared to death

I'm up and down like a yoyo. One minute I feel more positive and then something will floor me. And have seen a comment from someone I know slightly saying she needs to go shopping tomorrow, but she's supposedly in 14 day quarantine because her son has symptoms. Trying to tactfully say what the hell are you doing....

Has anyone heard anything from Dominic Cummings lately? I'm hoping he's quietly slunk away to hide in a hole.

Whitewave; check out Dr John Campbells latest utube blog. He is very reassuring.

We know that everything for such a scenario is in place as it will be used in a no deal brexit.

Reports that families are trying to borrow money to purchase food.

Important bit of information from Gove
